Strawberry Fields and Malls of Wonder
José Esteban Muñoz's influential text Cruising Utopia: The Then and There of Queer Futurity suggests that “the future is in the present.”1 Rather than a heteronormative vision of a future ensured by childbearing within a nuclear family, queerness cruises towards a utopia in the here and now. In effect, a queer utopia is prefigurative project: creating tomorrow today. Right now. In this very moment.On the surface HBO's The Last of Us (2023) seems …

Through layering our experiences among vignettes from Floribama Sho…

Subversive scholarship or anti-intellectual identity politics? An analysis of media frames of fat studies
Fat studies courses have emerged on college campuses during a time when the paradigm of the “obesity epidemic” dominates scientific and public discourses. Although scholars have assessed the media’s framing of fat and the “obesity epidemic,” research has yet to examine media frames of fat studies courses. Using data from LexisNexis and Google News, the authors analyze news media frames of fat studies. Our results indicate fat studies is nearly in…
